The India Meteorological Department has released another low‑pressure alert, warning of heavy rainfall across Odisha in the coming days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh low‑pressure warning for the state of Odisha, signalling the likelihood of widespread heavy rain. Meteorologists note that the system is expected to intensify over the next 24 to 48 hours, bringing downpours to coastal districts and interior regions alike.
Authorities have been advised to monitor river levels and prepare for possible flooding in low‑lying areas. The IMD has recommended that residents stay updated with local weather bulletins and avoid non‑essential travel during periods of intense rainfall.
The warning follows a series of recent weather disturbances that have already affected parts of eastern India, prompting precautionary measures in schools and public services. Emergency response teams in Odisha are on standby to address any immediate threats to life and property.
Residents are urged to secure loose objects, clear drainage channels, and keep emergency kits ready. The IMD will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves, with the next advisory expected later today.
